Online Guide to Meeting Assignments

Quizmaster

Listen carefully to
everything that is said during the meeting. The aim is to test
everyone's listening skills by preparing some questions to ask them.

What to do during your assignment

Listen carefully
during the night, and prepare questions based on what was said or did,
the content of any assignment or what was learnt.

Ask
the questions to the whole room. Answers will be called out to you.

The questions should
be able to be answered based purely from good listening skills. They
shouldn't be trivial, but neither are you testing people's skills at
cryptic thinking.

It is good to ask
questions on important points that were learned during the evening eg
"According to Elizabeth's educational session, what is the most
important job of an evaluator?"

Use your imagination
to make the assignment both entertaining and a method of revision. You
can limit who can answer, award small prizes or make it a written
assessment.

You will need to
prepare at least 10 questions, but you may well prepare more questions
than you find can fit into your time. When your time is up, end your
assignment, even if you have more questions prepared. This shows
consideration and professionalism.

If the meeting is
running close to or overtime, make your report concise.

Hand back to the
person who called you to the front, either the General Evaluator or the
Chairman.
